DECK THE HOLIDAY'S

   This diy comes from www.myblessedlife.net .  Enjoy! G ood morning, beautiful people! I hope you are having a great week. I’m excited to bring you my reindeer holiday coasters that I created using the fabulous new line of Martha Stewart Crafts acrylic paints. Woot! I adore how the coasters turned out! What a great handmade gift! Reindeer Holiday Coasters Supplies Needed: 4 – 4″ white porcelain tiles {I got mine at Lowe’s for 0.16 each.} Small felt pads Reindeer and snowflake stencils Glitter Feldspar paint Satin Habanero paint Sponges Spray Gloss Enamel Tape down or use spray adhesive to secure the stencil to the tile.

For years whenever I wanted a cool crackled effect on my painted projects I used the very expensive (to me) crackle medium and even bought some paints that were supposed to crack on their own. Because of the cost I did not do anything large and I was sparing in what I did do.
